Splendid Split

Split is sleek, sexy and enough to make any history-fiend positively drool with desire. One of the gems along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Split is bursting with centuries-old architecture, sparkling waters and chic shopping nooks. Move over Dubrovnik, Split is it!

Get your Split adventure underway with some history. Explore Peristil Square, the ancient heart of the city, for Roman architecture, and gaze upon fourth-century remnants at Jupiter’s Temple. Don’t forget to trawl the streets of one the oldest areas in town, Varos, for an antidote to the horrendously ugly apartment blocks surrounding the city. With the cultural stuff done and dusted (for a day, at least), it’s time for some shopping and munchies. Hit up Split’s Pazar for great market finds, kitschy souvenirs and the best cevapi in town.

Joker Centre – Popular shopping mall with more than 50 shops, skating rink, cinema and a McDonald's.

Stari Pazar – An outdoor market in Split that sells fresh food, fast food, clothes and many other items.

Split Events

Any Croatian pop fans out there? The Split Pop Music Festival is held every February and is a mega-feast of teenybopper treats – even if you don’t understand a word.

Split’s summer is already a three-month party, but when the Split Summer Festival comes to town in July/August, it gets even buzzier. Celebrate the city with a bunch of concerts, plus various dance shows, theatre and parades.

The International Festival of New Film in September presents some rather experimental films in every single genre you can think of, from horror to drama. Expect a lot of weirdo movie peeps and hipsters.

If you’re a boat fanatic, you can’t miss April’s Croatia Boat Show. Hundreds of boats congregate at Diocletian Palace to show off their shininess to the jet-setting elite.

When To Go

Split has a warm, dry summer and a wet, chilly winter. Max temps for summertime sit at around 28ºC (83ºF) and around 7ºC (45ºF) in winter.

November takes the title of rainiest month.

January is the peak of winter, while summer brings the crowds from June to August.

Getting Around

Buses are Split’s only mode of public transport. They’re a little pricey, but convenient and efficient.

Hiring a car is probably the best way to move around Split if you don’t mind forking out for parking.

Taxis are the go after midnight and before 5 a.m., when there are no buses running.
